This is a great article. The revenue cycle is a simple
concept but can definitely create several issues for
healthcare companies that don't invest in the proper
software. There are several companies out there that
specialize in Software as a Service, one being Passport
Health in Franklin, TN. .

This is a great article but it is missing information.
The technology exists today to verify data at check in,
run automated eligibility, create a mock EOB at POC and
secure the patient portion at the first encounter. Like
most in our industry the author wants to neglect or under
service the patient portion and it is now over 30% of our
revenue flow while 49.3% goes uncollected. So any revenue
cycle fix has to include collecting more efficiently from
the patient as well. Every thing sited in this article I
agree with and provide but we also go the next step and
secure the patients portion. You have to look at the
whole picture and apply all the technologies that improve
work flow and profit.

Great Article Rosemarie. I find that many revenue cycles fall apart
because every process is not attended too on a consistent basis.
Then they start putting out fires. .

This survey is a poll of those who choose to participate and are, therefore, not valid statistical samples, but rather a snapshot of what your colleagues are thinking.
